Congratulations to 12-year-old Ananya Vinay, who was the winner of the 2017 Scripps National Spelling Bee last Thursday night. She was the last contestant standing out of a total of 291 spellers.

She spelled 35 words correctly, and the title was hers when she spelled the word “marocain.” The judges were going to ask her to spell “covfefe” as the final word, but even they could not venture a guess at the part of speech.
